Collaborative Opportunities in November
- Ms. Seay's and Ms. Hoffman's Art students researched artists and their methods and styles in preparation for creating their own piece in that same style. We used digital notes to paraphrase and summarize information learned, and their NEISD Google accounts and forms to share information between students and teacher.
- Health students in Coach Hultgren's classes researched classifications and names of illegal drugs.
- English IV students from Ms. McClatchey's, Ms. Stiefvater's, and Ms. Williams' classes researched a variety of topics under the Middle Ages in databases. They were instructed on search terms, advanced searches, citations, and MLA formatting of bibliographies. Students used digital note-taking to record their knowledge gained, and created Works Cited pages.
- Ms. Eggleston's Business students were instructed on how to create and use a Smore newsflyer. They used this Web 2.0 tool to record their information about various businesses.
- Students in Ms. Steitle's, Mr. Pintor's, Ms. Gibson's, and Ms. Robison's English I classes received instruction in database searching, digital note-taking, and using various applications in their Google Accounts in conjunction with their research on famous people and their times. The final product was a Fake Twitter page shared through Google Forms. Ms. Wedgworth's students in English II completed a similar assignment.
Collaborative Opportunities in December
- Ms. Weil brought her Business classes to the library to finalize their long-term research project in the form of a Business Plan. They were instructed on MLA formatting related to a bibliography page as well as searching in databases.
- Ms. Carrier's European History classes conducted research in databases on The French Revolution in preparation for creating a magazine of that era.
- Students in Ms. Charlton's and Ms. Schmitt's classes completed their PSAs related to previous research about various social issues.
